Her philosophical interests centre around the early modern period, with a particular concern for questions about mind, cognition, perception, desire, and judgment. She is also interested in feminist philosophy and the philosophies of mind and language. In 2018 Michaela won the Jan Wojcik Memorial Prize for graduate students in the history of philosophy for  her research about Mary Astell (1666-1731), about whom has also written a blog post for Project Vox.
